Northam reports fatal accident at Zondereinde min
The management of Northam Platinum Ltd regretted to advise the death of two employees following an accident at the company's Zondereinde division on the morning of Tuesday 20 July 2010. Initial investigations, conducted by management, members of the safety inspectorate of the department of mineral resources ("DMR") and union representatives, indicate that the accident was the result of a localised fall of ground in a cross-cut some 1 350 metres underground. The area had been supported with grouted roofbolts. Drilling and blasting activities have been suspended while management implements an audit of support compliance and ground conditions throughout the underground workings. No one else sustained any injuries as a result of the accident.
